It's good to see that ESPN2K5 got the nod.

This makes up for all of the ass that IGN has sucked for all of the years that they have sucked ass.

Of course, starting tomorrow, they will return to building up their cumulative ass suck quotient.

And the Internets agree, too;

And obviously, they are correct. For they are the Internets.

Even though I didn't agree with everything that won, I'm pretty okay with all of the winners...except for fighting game. No one at IGN besides me is qualified to have even a hint of an opinion about fighting games (which is a very sad fact, because I'm not even that good at the games).

Dead or Alive? Def Jam!? I think Mortal Kombat: Deception was third in the vote tallies.

If there's one nod I'll give to Sl1p, it's that SFIII:TS should indeed be Game of the Year here until something better comes out. I've yet to see it.
As of last year, besides those mentioned...
GG Isuka? Fun, but no.
Capcom Fighting Evolution? Ha! No.
GG X2 #R? Close, but no.
The three mentioned in the quote? Nope.
He really had something. Heck, why not just include SF: Anniversary Collection as one of the winners if you want to be technical?

No one at IGN is qualified to have even a hint of an opinion. Period.

Fixed.

I voted 1) Guilty Gear XX#R, 2) Street Fighter Anniversary, 3) Capcom Fighting Evolution. And I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one that didn't vote for Mortal Kombat, Def Jam, or Dead or Alive.

IGN needs some editors that were not born in the 1980s. That's the problem.
